This car has belonged
to several collectors since the early '90's. Originally delivered to
Portland OR it remained a west coast car until about 10 years ago. It
has been repainted very long ago but still is very presentable for a
driver. There is evidence of a collision repair done very long ago.
It appears the left front fender and apron were replaced (the apron
has a Mustang VIN indicating collision prior to availability of
reproduction parts). The floors and trunk are solid and the only
apparent rust seems to be limited to slight bubble up in the lower
quarters.
The engine was rebuilt
in 2003 and the two barrel intake manifold was replaced with a four
barrel and a performance camshaft was installed. It runs very well!
The front suspension has also been rebuilt utilizing factory ford
parts as the decals are still present on the components.
This car is very
original and a true survivor. Some markings are still visible on the
rear axle. I have the original window sticker and a good amount of
documentation. It's a great driver and shows well as it is or a great
start to a higher level project. 2017 marks the 50th
anniversary of the Cougar. This car is very similar to Cougar #1. It
was a 1967 that is Red with White vinyl top and 390 as well!
This will be the featured mark at Ford Carlisle next year. Join the
show in style with this one! Contact me with any further inquiries.
This car will be at Daytona Turkey Rod Run November 25-26, 2016.
